Artificial respiration

Catabolic pathways and production of ATP Fermentation - occurs without O2, is partial degradation of sugars to release energy Aerobic respiration - uses O2 in breakdown of glucose (or other energy-rich organic compounds) to yield CO2 and H2O and release energy as ATP and heat Of some prokaryotes - doesn’t use O2 as a reactant but it 's a similar process Cellular respiration - usually used to refer to aerobic process Is exergonic and has a free energy change of -686 kcal/mol of glucose…

This bacteria had a positive catalase test meaning that it contains the enzyme catalase and was able to turn the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen and that this bacteria uses aerobic respiration. When plated on a mannitol/salt plate the bacteria was able to grow on the plate meaning that it has a resistance to high salt environment and live in environments that are high in salt, but had a negative fermentation result meaning that it was…

allows the crawfish to reach their final destination in one piece. While they fetch a price of less than a dollar per pound (Romaire et al., 2005), the multiple purposes they fulfill are priceless. Since a crawfish undergoes the process of aerobic respiration likes humans, it aids in providing valid assumptions when referring to the common way humans generate energy through aerobic…

Cellular Respiration takes place on the level of the cell, inside the mitochondria. This is the process of breaking down food in the presence of oxygen to form ATP. ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate which is an energy bearing molecule found in all living cells1. Things such as bacteria can perform this with their outer membranes. When a person runs, they use cellular respiration to create energy in the form of ATP which allows their muscles to move. Many other energy-consuming reactions of…

The Effect of Cellular Respiration at Low and High Temperatures Introduction Cellular respiration can include two processes, aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The main purpose of cellular respiration is to breakdown sugars into smaller structures so that the cell can use it as energy (Reece, et al. 2014). The main concept of the respiration lab is aerobic respiration. This is the process that organic compounds will be degraded from oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxides, and…

Hypothesis: Aerobic Respiration: If a phosphate buffer, dichlorophenol-indophenol and succinate are added to a mitochondrial extract then the succinate molecules will bind to an enzyme complex (succinate dehydrogenase). Because the enzyme and FAD are a part of the same complex, initiating succinate oxidation, this reaction reduces FAD to FADH2. Thus the oxidation of succinate to furmarate. Anaerobic Respiration: If a solution of yeast and glucose is combined and placed in different incubation…

Adria Bollendorf CH-213 Cellular Respiration Level 3 analysis All cells in the body have a need for a source of energy to function. Cellular respiration is a specific set of metabolic relations that occur in cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy as ATP and release products. The reactions of cellular respiration are glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain (ETC). The pathways are either aerobic meaning they need oxygen to occur or anaerobic meaning…

The Carbon Cycle Addition of carbon to the atmosphere Respiration: Through respiration, carbon dioxide can be added to the atmosphere. Living organisms use respiration to turn food into usable energy. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to take place, and produces carbon dioxide, releasing it into the air and atmosphere. The energy taken from the food molecules following digestion is used to fuel the organism, additionally when mixed with oxygen, releases carbon dioxide when exhaling.…

Fermentation is a metabolic process which involves the conversion of sugars to acids, gases or alcohol. Fermentation occurs in the body when there is a lack of oxygen supplied to the muscle cells, but also occurs in yeast and bacterial cells. In the body the fermentation process becomes significant during oxygen deprivation episodes, thus becoming the key method of ATP production. Cells tend to avoid fermentation considering the fact that generally, with the exception of strict anaerobes, yeast…

The gastrointestinal tract is significant to proper everyday functions. A large process in this region of the body is gastric acid secretion. This secretion occurs from a number of different mechanisms. However, this process is largely contrived through two means, parietal cells and drugs. Utilized each day in processes like digestion and metabolism, the role parietal cells and drugs play in regulating gastric acid secretion is fundamental to life. Gastric Acid Secretion by Parietal Cells…
